Hand-held portable power tools - Test methods for evaluation of vibration emission - Part 3: Polishers and rotary, orbital and random orbital sanders (ISO 28927-3:2009)

This part of ISO 28927 specifies a laboratory method for measuring hand-transmitted vibration emission at the handles of hand-held, power-driven, portable polishers and rotary, orbital and random orbital sanders used for surface-finishing processes, not for material removal. It is a type-test procedure for establishing the magnitude of vibration in the gripping areas of a machine when operating under type-test conditions. It is intended that the results be used to compare different models of the same type of machine. This part of ISO 28927 is applicable to hand-held machines (see Clause 5), driven pneumatically or by other means. It is not applicable to straight grinders equipped with a sanding wheel or to belt sanders.

Handgehaltene motorbetriebene Maschinen - Messverfahren zur Ermittlung der Schwingungsemission - Teil 3: Poliermaschinen sowie Rotationsschleifer, Schwingschleifer und Exzenterschleifer (ISO 28927-3:2009)

Dieser Teil von ISO 28927 legt ein Laborverfahren zur Messung der Hand-Arm-Schwingungen fest, die an
den Handgriffen von handgehaltenen Poliermaschinen sowie Rotationsschleifern, Schwingschleifern und
Exzenterschleifern hervorgerufen werden. Diese Maschinen dienen zur Schlussbearbeitung von Oberflächen
und nicht zum Materialabtrag. Es handelt sich um ein Messverfahren zur Ermittlung der Schwingungskennwerte
(Schwingungsemissionswerte) an den Greifstellen der Maschine, die unter Laborbedingungen
betrieben wird.
Dieser Teil von ISO 28927 gilt für handgehaltene Poliermaschinen mit rundem Stützteller, Vertikal-Rotationsschleifer
und Winkel-Rotationsschleifer, Schwingschleifer und Exzenterschleifer (einschließlich aller Schleifmaschinen
mit zwei überlagerten Bewegungen), die zum Polieren lackierter Flächen mit Polierhauben sowie
zum Feinschleifen mit rundem oder rechteckigem Schleifpapier dienen. Die hierbei betrachteten Flächen sind
eben.
Die Maschinen, die dieser Teil von ISO 28927 behandelt, können pneumatisch oder auf andere Weise
angetrieben sein. In den Bildern 1 bis 8 sind typische Maschinen dargestellt.
Dieser Teil von ISO 28927 gilt für die in Abschnitt 5 genannten Maschinen; er gilt nicht für Geradschleifer mit
Schleifscheibe sowie Bandschleifer.
Der Zweck besteht darin, dass die Kennwerte zum Vergleich verschiedener Modelle derselben Maschinenart
verwendet werden können.

Machines à moteur portatives - Méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation de l'émission de vibrations - Partie 3: Polisseuses-lustreuses et ponceuses rotatives, orbitales et orbitales spéciales (ISO 28927-3:2009)

L'ISO 28927-3:2009 spécifie une méthode de mesure en laboratoire des émissions de vibrations transmises aux mains s'exerçant au niveau des poignées des polisseuses-lustreuses et ponceuses rotatives, orbitales et orbitales spéciales tenues à la main, destinées aux procédés de finition des surfaces et non aux procédés d'enlèvement de matériaux. Il s'agit d'une méthode d'essai de type définissant l'amplitude des vibrations aux zones de préhension des machines fonctionnant dans les conditions d'essai de type. Il est prévu d'utiliser les résultats pour comparer différents modèles du même type de machine.
L'ISO 28927-3:2009 s'applique aux machines tenues à la main, pneumatiques ou entraînées par un autre dispositif. Elle ne s'applique ni aux meuleuses droites équipées d'une roue de ponçage, ni aux ponceuses d'angles à ruban.

Ta del ISO 28927 določa laboratorijsko metodo za merjenje emisij ročnega oddajanja vibracij na ročajih ročnih električnih prenosnih orodij za poliranje ter rotacijskih, vibracijskih in izsrednih brusilnikov uporabljenih za proces apreture površine, ne za odstranjevanje materiala. To je postopek tipskega preskusa za vzpostavljanje razsežnosti vibracij v območju držanja stroja, ko deluje pod pogoji tipskih preskusov. Namenjen je temu, da se rezultati uporabijo za primerjavo različnih modelov strojev istega tipa. Ta del ISO 28927 velja za ročne stroje (glej Klavzulo 5), ki so gnani pnevmatično ali gnani kako drugače. Ne velja za ravne brusilnike, opremljene z brusilnimi kolesi ali tračnimi brusilniki.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

SIST EN ISO 28927-3:2010
ISO 28927-3:2009(E)
Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or -B standards,
the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for
machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.
The vibration test codes for portable hand-held machines given in ISO 28927 are based on ISO 20643, which
gives general specifications for the measurement of the vibration emission of hand-held and hand-guided
machinery. ISO 28927 specifies the operation of the machines under type-test conditions and other
requirements for the performance of type tests. The structure/numbering of its clauses follows that of
ISO 20643.
The basic principle for transducer positioning first introduced in the EN 60745 series of European standards is
followed, representing a deviation from ISO 20643 for reasons of consistency. The transducers are primarily
positioned next to the hand in the area between the thumb and the index finger, where they give the least
disturbance to the operator gripping the machine.
It has been found that vibrations generated by polishers and all types of sanders vary considerably in typical
use. The variation is largely due to variations in the unbalance of the sanding or polishing pad and to
differences in the contact between the inserted tool and the surface of the work piece. Orbital and random
orbital sanders are sensitive to changes in the weight of the sanding pad because the weight is
counterbalanced by counterbalance weights in the machine. The vibration value also depends to a large
extent on the skill of the operator.
This part of ISO 28927 uses a real working process for the test. In order to provide a method that gives good
measurement reproducibility, the procedure — chosen to give vibration values as far as possible in
accordance with ISO 20643 — is described in detail and it is essential that it be followed exactly. The
procedures of ISO 5349 are required whenever exposure at the workplace is to be assessed.
The values obtained are type-test values intended to be representative of the average of the upper quartile of
typical vibration magnitudes in real-world use of the machines. However, the actual magnitudes will vary
considerably from time to time and depend on many factors, including the operator, the task and the inserted
tool or consumable. The state of maintenance of the machine itself might also be of importance. Under real
working conditions the influences of the operator and process can be particularly important at low magnitudes.
2
It is therefore not recommended that emission values below 2,5 m/s be used for estimating as estimates of
2
the vibration magnitude under real working conditions. In such cases, 2,5 m/s is the recommended vibration
magnitude for estimating the machine vibration.
If accurate values for a specific work place are required, then measurements (according to ISO 5349) in that
work situation could be necessary. Vibration values measured in real working conditions can be either higher
or lower than the values obtained using this part of ISO 28927.
Higher vibration magnitudes can easily occur in real work situations, caused by the use of excessively
unbalanced inserted tools, sanding pads with the wrong weight, worn backing pads or bent spindles.
The vibration test codes given in ISO 28927 supersede those given in ISO 8662, whose parts have been
replaced by the corresponding parts of ISO 28927 (see Foreword).
NOTE ISO 8662-11, Hand-held portable power tools — Measurement of vibrations at the handle — Part 11: Fastener
driving tools, and ISO 8662-13, Hand-held portable power tools — Measurement of vibrations at the handle — Part 13:
Die grinders, could be replaced by future parts of ISO 28927.

Part 3:
Polishers and rotary, orbital and random orbital sanders
1 Scope
This part of ISO 28927 specifies a laboratory method for measuring hand-transmitted vibration emission at the
handles of hand-held, power-driven, portable polishers and rotary, orbital and random orbital sanders used for
surface-finishing processes, not for material removal. It is a type-test procedure for establishing the magnitude
of vibration in the gripping areas of a machine when operating under type-test conditions. It is intended that
the results be used to compare different models of the same type of machine.
This part of ISO 28927 is applicable to hand-held machines (see Clause 5), driven pneumatically or by other
means. It is not applicable to straight grinders equipped with a sanding wheel or to belt sanders.
NOTE To avoid confusion with the terms “power tool” and “inserted tool”, machine is used for the former throughout
this document.
